Margarine recall in Germany: Consumption of these products is strongly discouraged

Nergiz Großmarkt GmbH provides information regarding “Produktwarnung.eu” via a callback. In a batch of “Vita Margarine Pure Vegetable Ghee” in the 1kg can, the substance glycidol was detected in tests.

This is carcinogenic, irritates the mucous membranes and skin, sometimes severely, and can cause serious injuries to the cornea if it comes into contact with the eye. In addition, the central nervous system can be stimulated, with subsequent possible depression.

Consumption of the affected products is therefore strongly discouraged.
